Ninth place undersells it honestly, the boss design alone should carry it higher than half the games above it on this list.

Précipité c'est le mot juste, cette impression de zone finale expédiée après un début aussi maîtrisé, ça laisse un goût bizarre en sortant du jeu.

Comparé à Skyrim la direction artistique est quand même plus soignée, même si après pour l'exploration...

Il m'a semblé un peu déséquilibré sur la fin, enfin pas déséquilibré, plutôt précipité par endroits.

Oh yeah, I definitely remember dying to that one boss. Multiple times. Very fun, ten out of ten.

I get why people rank it high but the areas late game feel rushed compared to the early sections which are genuinely great craft here I just think the balance falls off a bit and that should count for something in these rankings

Compared to Elden Ring it feels tighter, more focused, less bloat. Sometimes less is more.

Je suis d'accord sur le côté resserré, moins de remplissage, ça se sent direct manette en main.

Vous trouvez vraiment qu'il tient la comparaison face au monde ouvert, ou on vote juste par nostalgie de la trilogie ?

Les temps de chargement sont courts et la caméra tient bien même sur les gros boss, j'ai fait dans les 400 heures dessus et jamais eu à pester contre la technique.

pareil pour moi, la dernière zone m'a paru bâclée niveau rythme comparé au reste qui est ciselé

Yo también sentí que el ritmo se rompía un poco al final, aunque quizás fue solo mi partida, no sé si a todos les pasó igual.

Mon frère a chronométré ses runs comme toi, mais jamais aussi propre sur la dernière zone.
